Pavel Korbička
Czech. Born in 1972 in Brno, Czech Republic
Pavel Korbička exploits each creative impulse down to the minutest detail and can bring his message across with the use of the most economical devices, his idiom conveying an experience of great intensity. He works with space, light, and color, employing various combinations of new and classical technologies.
Pavel Korbička manages to conjure up a state of suspense between objects and installations. Whether he displays them indoors or outdoors is of no relevance. While his sculptures may superficially appear static, they actually attest to a great deal of importance assigned by the artist to the element of motion. Motion, that is, does not involve the objects themselves but rather concerns the viewer’s circling or entering them. With every new step, correlations between light and color transform. Thus, the artist's message acquires new dynamism, as the viewers perceive the composition as a whole in a different and sometimes quite unexpected way with each change of perspective or color.
